Kate Middleton makes surprise appearance as she steps out with Prince William

The Duchess of Cambridge looked radiant as she stepped out today with Prince William.

Making a surprise appearance at Paddington Station to meet the cast and crew from upcoming film Paddington 2, Kate sported a shorter haircut than before and a blush pink Orla Kiely dress.

This is the Duchess' second time stepping out since the announcement that she is pregnant with her third child alongside her husband, the Duke of Cambridge. Kate was also joined by Prince Harry as they greeted the bear and had a little dance while briefly exchanging a few words. The royal family then boarded a train to meet young passengers who had been nominated by Their Royal Highnesses’ Charities Forum. Publishing pictures on its official Twitter account, Kensington Palace said, "Many of the children on today’s journey are going through difficult times in their lives."
